For someone so smart, Fox sure has let other people do most of the thinking for him.

Maybe this'll be what changes that.

I abstain!
Fox looks evil in the last panel

uhh ohh, fox detects something..., i wonder if King is finally gonna tell his secret? i mean, that's definitly what he's goin for it looks like to me, and i really feel bad for Fido, gettin kicked out of TGODC, gotta stink

How dare they vote Fido out of the G.O.D club. I am writing a strongly worded letter displaying my anger towards Bino.

It's BINO, whatcha gonna do?

While I'm sure the secret is going to come out some time I highly doubt King would reveal it now. The double-whammy may be too much for Fox. Fox seems to be barely holding it together as it is



I he actually out of the club? Probably. But it seems to me that this was just a vote to remove him from club leadership, not revoking his membership entirely. That is very likely to come next, though...
Random thought: Fox abstained, so was Fido the 1 in "4 to 1"?

What a giveaway, King. Also, Fox looks like he's ready to take a bite on King in the last panel.

Though really King does have a much better reason from keeping his secret from Fox, why in the world would Fox (or anyone for that matter) believe him.

I had a feeling Bino would use this like this

guys, I'm pretty sure there's more than 6 members of the GODC, this vote just removed him from his spot on the leadership council

the next vote is what's going to get him out of the club. (and maybe Peanut too, since Fido's the only reason he's back in after Bino kicked him out)

Well Fox ... I´m kinda glad you abstained you know becau- WAIT !!!

Is that a ring on King´s hand ??? It looks good on him !

Anyone who follows Bino deserves what happens in the end.

It's been mentioned repeatedly that the only reason Bino gets any respect at all (and why Fox remains his friend) is because of his relationship to Fido. You would think that Bino would be tossed out too.

BTW, sad Fox is so cute in panel one. But..poor kid needs to start thinking for himself. This isn't the first time he's been hurt by letting others, esp. Bino think for him (r.e., Sasha)

*agasps*Bino's trying to become a tyrant!


@Viath, yeah i would think so too but look at what's happening! i mean what else could he be going for?

of course, We already saw Bailey wearing hers in the Love and War arc, it would be kinda jerkish if King didn't wear his

This is way familiar to me.

I don't think King's about to reveal HIS secret. If you look at last years Christmas arc you'll see he knew about Fido and Sabrina.

Poor Fox,
the innocent victim
with questioning doubt;
watching on the TV
was no way to find out.

Poor Fox,
doubting himself
questioning his side,
watching them act
with doubtful pride.

Poor Fox
unburdening his woe
on our little, sad, King,
the one with a secret
who knew of their 'thing'.

Poor Fox
about to hear more
of betrayal by friends
who talk of Christmas past -
is that where it ends?

Poor Fox.

4-1 without Fox? Assuming Fido is the 1, and that Bino (and maybe Duchess) are among the 4, who are the rest of the council? I like how panel two is done with the curving upward, very illustrative of Fox's current feelings. He certainly does have a moral lot to think about, though as to King's comment, he may be left to find out later, or not.

Can't say I was expecting this, but it does make sense. Bino has never really been a big fan of his older brother, him taking advantage of the event to remove Fido from the leadership of the Good Ol Dog's club is right down his alley.

Also right there is Fox abstaining from the vote. Fox has always been more accepting than the other dogs, in some senses, so it makes sense that he'd be conflicted in his thoughts, although overall okay with Fido, even if he is angry with him at this point.

Makes me both nervous and excited for when the truth comes out between King and Fox, especially due to Bailey being in the mix. This seems, at least a little, to be leading towards that, but I would be truly shocked if it actually happens soon.

Ugh, so much for the last strip being my favouirte. This one is definitely close.

I have to admit I feel a little bit sorry for Fox here. It's got to be difficult feeling so disillusioned by all the events of the day. And even though Fox isn't perfect or completely unbiased in this situation, his decision to stay loyal and supportive to his friend speaks volumes about his character.

I'm also quite proud of Fido standing up for himself and Sabrina, it certainly took him long enough.

HOLD IT! All the dogs should get used to Fido being a cat lover now that they all know about it. There's nothing wrong with it.

i would be a liar if i said i didn't expect this, infact i expected someting JUST LIKE this.. wait! i guess I"M PSYCHIC!!! quick ask me something!!!

HERE'S what King's been hiding THIS time - http://www.housepetscomic.com/2012/12/1 ... o-go-away/

Didn't think they would remove his powers so easily like that, given the fact I thought he started the whole club and of his reputation? But nonetheless, i'm intrigued. Either Fido is going to be ignoring the club altogether now, or just hanging out with who Sabrina hangs out with.

I would love it if Sasha got voted.

Well, Fox, not everything works in absolutes. And King, you may want to watch how you word what you say, one mind-crushing reveal is enough for a time.

If he breaks him enough now he won't know how to feel about it! Do it do it do it do it do it!!!!

Fox scares me when he's angry D8 *sobs*

I wonder if King is going to tell him now? I would love to imagine how Fox will react to that. XD

I COMPLETELY forgot that King and Bailey saw Fido and Sabrina together. Their concern for Fox and their general lack of surprise at the news about Fido actually makes sense to me now!

Thanks for that!

Well, looks like Bino wins this one...without injury for once. That's unfortunate.

And it looks like King might have his turn to share...although, I'm more curious if Fox will actually believe in the supernatural ties that put him in his dog form at face value or require some kind of proof of it...or if he already figured it out during or after the whole watch thing.



I think that might've been Peanut who voted for Fido to stay in, given that Fido was there to let him back in when Bino kicked him out and tends to kind of relate to Fido in this matter (his crush on Grape). Not to mention that he already knew and given his personality in general, Peanut seems like a pretty open-minded character. So I figure it could've been Peanut trying to return a favor, a genuinely open-minded decision, or a bit of both.

I was just thinking that. Fox can't take that, a much bigger and mind shattering secret, along with this one. Reveal that now and Fox may break. If King ever tells him, it must be long after Fox has recovered from this one

Bion was injured without a win when FACE came to housepets, so it goes both ways. I sincerely doubt that Fox would have figured out that King used to be a member of a different species, let alone whom of that, unless he has some form of supernatural connection we don't know about. Given that this vote is of a ruling council, and not the entire club, Peanut was likely not involved, being neither of leaderly disposition nor such a place for him given his (innocent but disregarded) standing with the club in general. We can be fairly certain that the one vote was by Fido himself, as a co-founder he would be on the council.

Haha...man...I wonder if this Christmas arc is going to be the one where the secret comes out. Feel bombs may be dropped.

Bino sure is enjoying ruining his brother's reputation.

I'm sure Bino rationalizes this by thinking everyone BUT himself is responsible for his own bad reputation. He's always been jealous of his big brother, as someone wrote (back when you could see the eye color clearly) that it is very appropriate his eyes are green.

Maybe others abstained as well and therefore aren't counted in the 4 - 1 vote?

Well, Bino isn´t ruining Fido´s reputation, he´s just taking advantage of Fido´s ruined reputation to do all the things he always wanted to do, show the world that his brother isn´t as perfect as everybody (everybody except Fido himself) thought he was.



I think that in this meeting, It was just the council. With that in mind, the council is formed by not-a-large-number of dogs, I assume that this council is consists on 7 dogs, the 5 who voted, Fox who abstained and Fido who I´m supossing did not vote cause he is the one being "judge"

Im also guessing that the "new elections" that are coming are for decide if they kick Fido out of the Club, and in those all the members of the Club would be voting ... just my guess

I can hear Phoenix Wright in the club yelling "Objection!"

Yeah, where's Phoenix Wright when we need him?

Fox now needs to forgive Fido and discover that a good, honest friendship will always beat being gregarious to a bunch of losers.
Oh, and King? WAAAYY smooth: please, stop thinking about yourself and help out your friend now that he needs you!
